Pretty Women Lyrics by Luke Brady

Sweeney Todd (The 2012 London Cast Recording)

2012

[TODD, spoken]
What may I do for your honour? A stylish trimming of the hair? Soothing skin massage?
[TURPIN]
You see sir a man infatuated with love
Her ardent and eager slave
So fetch the pomade and pumice stone
And lend me a more seductive tone
A sprinkling perhaps of French cologne
But first sir I think a shave
[TODD]
The closest I ever gave
[TODD/TURPIN]
(Whistles/Hums)
[TURPIN]
You're in a merry mood today, barber!
[TODD]
’Tis your delight, sir, catching fire
From one man to the next
[TURPIN]
'Tis true, sir, love can still inspire
The blood to pound, the heart leap higher
What more
[TODD]
What more
[TODD/TURPIN]
Can man require
[TURPIN]
Than love, sir
[TODD]
More than love, sir
[TURPIN]
What, sir?
[TODD]
Women
[TURPIN]
Ah yes, women
[TODD]
Pretty women
[TODD/TURPIN]
(Whistles/Hums)
[TODD]
Now then my friend
Now to your purpose
Patience. Enjoy it
Revenge can't be taken in haste
[TURPIN]
Make haste and if we wed you’ll be commended, sir
[TODD]
My lord
And who may it be said is your intended, sir?
[TURPIN]
My ward
And pretty as a rose bud
[TODD]
As pretty as her mother?
[TURPIN]
What? What was that?
[TODD]
Nothing, sir. Nothing
May we proceed?
Pretty women
Fascinating...
Sipping coffee
Dancing...
Pretty women
Are a wonder
Pretty women!
Sitting in the window or
Standing on the stair
Something in them cheers the air
Pretty women
[TURPIN]
Silhouetted...
[TODD]
Stay within you
[TURPIN]
Glancing...
[TODD]
Stay forever
[TURPIN]
Breathing lightly...
[TODD]
Pretty women
[TURPIN/TODD]
Pretty women!
[TODD]
Blowing out
Their candles
Or combing out their
Hair
Even when they leave
They still
Are there
They're there
Ah!
Pretty women
At their mirrors
[TURPIN]
Blowing out
Their candles
Combing out their hair
Then they leave
Even when they leave you and vanish
They somehow can still can remain
There with you
There with you
In their gardens
[TODD]
Letter-writing
[TURPIN]
Flower-picking
[TODD]
Weather-watching
[TODD/TURPIN]
How they make a man sing!
Proof of heaven as you're living
Pretty women! Sir, pretty women!
Yes, here's to pretty women!
Pretty women
Pretty women
Pretty women
[ANTHONY]
Mr. Todd!
She says she'll marry me Sunday
Everything's settled
We leave tonight
[TURPIN]
You!
[ANTHONY, spoken]
Judge Turpin!
[TURPIN, spoken]
There is indeed a higher power to warn me thus in time! Johanna, elope with you? I'll lock her up in some obscure retreat, where neither you nor any other vile corrupting youth shall ever lay eyes on her again!
[ANTHONY, spoken]
But, sir, I beg of you!
[TURPIN, spoken]
And as for you, barber! It is all too clear what company you keep. Service them well and hold their custom for you'll have none of mine!
[ANTHONY, spoken]
Mr. Todd?
[TODD, spoken]
Get out of here. Out I said!
